Although Seez Mics is the latest signee to Strange Famous Records’ digital imprint SFdigi, he’s already a familiar name to fans of SFR. His history with the label stretches back almost 20 years when he first hosted SFR mastermind Sage Francis on his college radio show.

More recently, Seez was an opening act on the Epic Beard Men’s tour on several Mid-Atlantic dates earlier this year. Naturally, it made sense for Seez to join SFR’s roster, especially when the head honcho is already a fan.

“There’s a well-contained fire in his lyrics, a measured and tempered approach to his delivery of them, and a very matter-of-fact manner in which he wraps everything up,” Sage says of Seez. “That’s age and maturity at work, which isn’t often rewarded in the music industry at large.”
